MISSING MECHANIC.
DISAPPEARANCE or Mr.. CHARLES Z
WREN.
A Very Worthy Man unsccountedly
Assent from Home and
Friends.

Charles f. Wren, OF this city, who
lived at 10 China street, disappeared
Mondfy, and has not been since seen
by any Of his friends.
Wren is a carpenter, and with his
wife lived. at 7l0 China street. After
breakfast last Monday morning he leit
home as usual to go to his shop. They
parted on friendly terms, and the wife
cannot imagine why her husband
should have left her.
The only source, and that q feeble
one, to which his sudden departure can
be traced is litigation about some
houses he had contracted to erect. The
houses are on Taylor street between
Reservoir and Randolph. Last Satur-
day week they were finished. About
two months previous the builder, q
colored man named Robert Rock, died,
and, as a result of his death, Wren
found himself unpaid, and that he
could not even borrow money on the
property, as deceased left an infant
child, and nobody conld give deed.
Having no resources, he could not
Pay bis sub-contmctors and workmen,
and it seemed to trouble him very much.
Last week he consulted a lawyer, who
advised a friendly suit by which the
property could be sold and realized
upon. He engaged the attorney to
bring the suit, and promised to hand
him Monday the necessary papers to
file a mechanics lien. This he did not
do.
Wren is member of Pine-Street
Baptist church, and is considered high
ly respectable and honest by oil who
know him.
With view to finding out some rea-
son for the strange disappearance
Wren's friends have made diligent
search among the merchants and bust
ness people with whom he has had
dealings. but nothing wrong can be
discovered.
Wren is o man about thirtythree
years Of age, and had carpenter-shop
on First between Main and Cary

The Old SaMdust Game.

A Milwaukee wis special says: A
member of the Wisconsin Legislature,
whose name the police decline to dis
close as yet, has fallen victim to the
old sawdust game. He, with many
others, recently received printed circu-
lars from New York offering a sup
ply of counterfeit money on very
reasonable terms. They were all
assured that the counterfeits were
so well executed that they could
be easily passed, and if the pro-
position was accepted they were to be
sent in a box by express marked G. o.
ID. So far as known the Wisconsin
assemblyman is the only one who
accepted the bait, and he is reported TO
have contracted for $500 of the counter
felt money, for which he was to pay
$500. The box arrived at the Milwaukee
express-office a few days ago, and in
some manner the express officials
became informed of its supposed con-
tents. They opened it, and found that
it was filed with sawdust. The as
semblyman to whom it was addressed
called for it in the afternoon, paid over
the $500, and with the box under his
arm hurried to the station and took the
train for Madison. The express COM
pany will not forward the money TO
New York, but will return it TO the as
semblyman, who is expected to have
learned by this time that instead of
swindling others he has been badly
swindled himself. An effort will be
made TO trace the men in New York
who are sending out the circulars.

The Theatre Last Night.

Sardou's emotional drama "PrincesS
Andrea was given at the Theatre last
night, Madame Janish in the title-r)le.
The play, which was presented by the
same drtisfc last season, is familiar to
the theatre-going public, and was rs
thoroughly enjoyed by the large au-
dience present last night as on previous
occasions.
Janish, with her sweet and express
siye smile, her loving manner, and
claiming French accent, persOnated
Innccss Andrea with a grace and ex-
cellence that would be difficult to equal.
The part is a pretty one, and in it is
room for display of much superiortalent,
and Janish Was at once winsome, natu-
raj, and artistic. The parts of Mr..
Leffingwell as her husband, Mr.. Coop
er as the Minister of Police, and Nelly
Donald Leflingwell as Stella the dancer,
were very well sustained, though the
latter lacked grace.
The gowns worn by Janish and Kate
de Fossey as the Baroness were mar
vellously beautiful in design and work
manship.
Tonight "Violets" will be given,
and it is hoped the house will be
crowded.
After the performance last night
Janish, by invitation, attended the re-
ception at the Governors.
